Iris Croatica, Croatia's National Flower

Iris croatica is a beardless rhizomatous species of iris (subgenus Iris) endemic to Croatia. It grows mostly in woods of Downy Oak (Quercus pubescens) and Black Hophornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia) on dolomite and limestone soils. It is known from hilly parts of continental Croatia on several mountains, including Medvednica, StrahinĨica, Samoborsko gorje, Ogulinsko zagorje and Papuk. It was described in 1962 by botanists Ivo and Marija Horvat. This is the national flower of Croatia.
